A disturbing Telegram group targeting ILLIT has gone viral after screenshots surfaced online allegedly showing users discussing plans to physically harm members of the rookie girl group.
The screenshots, which have rapidly spread across social media platforms and online communities, have left many fans expressing shock and concern for the members’ safety. One post allegedly claimed that the group had found someone willing to hand ILLIT members stuffed toys soaked in harmful chemicals during a fan event.

Another screenshot showed a message that claimed toys soaked in chloroform would be given to ILLIT. The post further claimed that the group had been monitoring ILLIT’s schedules and told followers to “wait for the news.

Even more alarming screenshots appeared to reference plans to recruit people located in Korea to carry out actions targeting the members.
“We’ve already found a couple of people on the dark web who are in Korea and are ready to carry out certain actions aimed at harming the girls.”

Additional messages appeared to offer money to individuals willing to provide information about the group’s whereabouts and schedules. One screenshot allegedly advertised payments of up to $500 for people willing to spy on the members.
The posts have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether the individuals involved possess any actual capability to carry out the threats they describe.
Nevertheless, the content has triggered widespread concern among fans.
